## Abstract A new kind of side chain liquid crystalline polysiloxane containing a crown ether with a longer spacer (PSCβ11) has been prepared and coated on a fused silica capillary column. The main chromaβtographic characteristics including efficiency, polarity, and selectivity have been examined.

β¦ Synopsis
Mesomorphic biphenylcarboxylate esters were coupled via flexible aliphatic hydrocarbon spacers to a polysiloxane backbone. The influence of spacer length, percent mesomorphic substitution, and crosslinking of the stationary phase on liquidcrystalline transition temperatures and on chromatographic performance was investigated. Unique selectivity and good efficiency over a wide temperature range for gum and crosslinked liquid-crystalline phases were demonstrated by the separation of various isomeric polycyclic aromatic compounds.

A smectic liquid-crystalline stationary phase was used in high resolution gas chromatography for the analysis of the patterns of the chloro-homologues of the polychlorodibenzodioxins and polychlorodibenzofurans. Unique selectivity for most of the 2,3,7,8-class congeners was observed. Use of this pha
